scipy.special.bi_zeros¶

scipy.special.bi_zeros(nt)[source]¶

Compute nt zeros and values of the Airy function Bi and its derivative.

Computes the first nt zeros, b, of the Airy function Bi(x); first nt zeros, b’, of the derivative of the Airy function Bi’(x); the corresponding values Bi(b’); and the corresponding values Bi’(b).

Parameters

ntint: Number of zeros to compute

Returns

bndarray: First nt zeros of Bi(x)
bpndarray: First nt zeros of Bi’(x)
bindarray: Values of Bi(x) evaluated at first nt zeros of Bi’(x)
bipndarray: Values of Bi’(x) evaluated at first nt zeros of Bi(x)
